This was an amazing episode. What veterans go through is so much more than most of us can grasp. Those veteran hot line folks are Angel's. I pray this country and all countries never go to war again.
@@Ron-Usmc-Vietnam Ron I hope you see this: Oh sweetie, I am so very sorry. Not to freak you out, BUT... I came upon my Grandfathers military records about a year ago, Get this...He had his mother's blessing, during WW ONE! he faked his age, he was 16 and she signed off on it. I cannot imagine, as I have a young"er" son. I can't imagine how horrible life must have been then to do such a thing. So, I have been working on genealogy records for my own grandchildren. So much is lost when we pass. I knew my beloved grandfather's military story, "kinda". I finally found his "discharge" notice. It read "SHELL SHOCK". I am still trying to discover where they sent a 16 year old boy to fight. Like many, he never spoke of it. Oddly, my own father had the most vivid recollection of war being declared, WWII. By then (grandfather) was in his 40's and had to explain to my father, as he was shaving, and as lil boy's often watch that ritual, and the radio said war had been declared... ( my dad was a rather late in life surprise baby) that even at his age, it is bad, and he may have to enlist, and he would be there to do it, if need be. I can safely say, no one knew of his "shell shock" as a teen boy in WWII. I am now his only Grandchild, a granddaughter. I have served (long ago) as a first responder. Finding his papers listing "shell shock" has given me an energy to do SOMETHING, anything, I don't care how big or small. I am on a mission now, to honor my family. One family member has served in every war since the revolution. I'm not sure where I will find myself to give, but please know, in your heart and my grandad's, your soul had a special place along ours. If you, or anyone else has ideas for the perfect volunteer idea, please remember my grandad and let me know where he might have thought I should serve. He was an awesome guy! And a true comic. We miss him! Get this,,,he was born in 1898! Top that one! LOL
Yes trump was the one who brought them all home, he’s the only president that stopped wars rather than make them, even though main stream media paint him out to be the bad guy.
For me this is one of the best shows you have put out, as a combat veteran I feel for Peter, a combat medic is arguably one of the most selfless and difficult jobs in the military, your brain can never erase most things. I wish him all the luck and respect and love❤
I'm a victim of child abuse. I find it really hard to sympathize with veterans. I'm working on it, but I don't know if it'll ever change. Jim seemed like he was really trying. Peter just didn't seem like a good person.
It is amazing to see a native descendant help heal others after all the harm our country has done to their ancestors. I think our native brothers and sisters are the answer to all of our modern ills like climate change.
Every vet just need to remember, you're never alone. There's always someone willing to listen. If you can't find someone to talk to come find me. I have struggled before and thankfully have friends that listen.
thank u Lisa Ling, this made our decision to send my grandson to the military. Hes not going, he is a child of child abuse and just graduated from high school. I cant see him go thru more issues than he already has.
This was such a heartbreaking and heartwarming episode. Congratulations to Lisa for a great story. Our country must step up to the plate for our veterans. They deserve to be taken care of like the heroes they are
Omg, so heartwarming to see Peter changes - now so different, loving person afterwards ❤❤❤ This shows opens my eyes for PTSD and stories of these people, thanks Lisa and producers!
aloha blessings all veterans fighting for our country ❤ SHAME ON OUR COUNTRY NOT PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE OUR VETERANS praying for you….. you have been stronger than ever it’s our time to support you! you fought for our freedom THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH!!! i want to help ❤
Such an amazing episode. I worked with so many veterans working corrections and as it turns out, we all suffered working in corrections and developed PTSD as a result. Thank you for bringing light to our darkness.
My husband and i went to a retreat modeled after Angel Fire, called Veterans freedom retreat. The whole retreat is such a healing process. And as a wife (15 years of which he was active duty, multiple combat deployments), the purple heart ceremony was so healing to MY soul
Dieter was in Vietnam War 🇻🇳 until he passed away from a Brain Anurism 🧠 😢 prayers and sweethearts we love you,please stay with us,thank you for being there for our Veterans really be in the corner for our Veterans ,if we can help please teach us how
Many people that I know have PTSD the ppl I talk to most times say at war they had to do horrible things that in a way hunts them and always feel paranoid I think in war nobody wins most army people end up mentally ill.
This "conflict" in Vietnam, still has its war casualties and the men still living with the pains of the past and never recovered...For things done...And undone...Peace
As a father of a soldier with PTSD. I've seen first hand many times his suffering. Numerous trips to the VA. All the is done is trying to force drugs on them. There is no one who ever wants to talk. Therapists would rather just hang out drugs.
While some may still see it as drugs I strongly recommend 5 meo dmt otherwise known as the toad ceremony. It is a short lived, deeply profound and spiritual experience, with amazing results for PTSD sufferers. There is plenty of information online that I urge you to read up on. I truly hope in my heart, your son can find peace in this way or another. Kind regards Cat Lovely Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
These vers and their families only confirm ...there's no winner in a war, not even the soldiers of a super power come out ok, we all get wounded and must strive to halt "war"
Time Stamp 9:23, yes Peter is wearing Marine Corps Charlies, but you can clearly see Navy E3 rank insignia on his left sleeve. Time stamp 9:35, you can clearly see US Navy on Peter's uniform, and the Hospital Corps collar device. At time stamp 10,:10, Lisa says Peter was a former Marine. At time stamp 11:44, you can see a picture of Peter in his Navy Dress Blues. All of this means that Peter was not a Marine, he was a US Navy Corpsman who was stationed with Marines. The reason he wore Marine Corps Charlies is because he went Marine Corps Regs.

Thanks for sharing! Education is very important in this area as we have fought in the Middle East for 20 years now. Regular Americans are very ignorant
This just shows you that no one wins in war
And how could they think putting their foot in Gaza is going to be any better?

Yes, I’ve had it for more than fifty years. VA offered me 100% disability forty four years ago, I didn’t take it. PTSD has never been treated.
OK, I will say it, as a military family member. Please vote for a leader, not someone leading us into another war.

The eyes of Peter have changed after he called him home. Omg I am crying
Same. Bawling.
We needs to be more of a focus on this
It is amazing to see a native descendant help heal others after all the harm our country has done to their ancestors. I think our native brothers and sisters are the answer to all of our modern ills like climate change.
We need more reporters like Lisa Ling !
Thank you veterans and veteran families for your sacrifice ❤

I LOVE the Native aspect to this episode and treatment…so natural and empathetic
I cried through so much of this. What amazing work these people do to try and help these vets. God bless you all
Peter has a beautiful smile
Thank you
God bless the work Lisa Ling is doing

I sobbed when Peter smiled
and...thank you for telling this story with grace and compassion.
Love this, only thing I would add is that women are the largest growing sector of Veterans. Therefore, it is not just men who go to war.
God bless our Veterans . They deserve everything.
I hope they all find the healing and happiness, the life came back into their eyes and it was a blessing to be able to watch, thank you.
aloha blessings all veterans fighting for our country ❤
SHAME ON OUR COUNTRY NOT PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE OUR VETERANS praying for you….. you have been stronger than ever it’s our time to support you! you fought for our freedom THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH!!! i want to help ❤
I have cried so much for peter😭..it's so heartbreaking. All the best peter and Andria. Much love from 🇰🇪
Thank you
Brave organisations & people❤keep healing,rest but don't quit
Thank you to all veterans for your service, including my cousin, Jacob!
Such an amazing episode. I worked with so many veterans working corrections and as it turns out, we all suffered working in corrections and developed PTSD as a result. Thank you for bringing light to our darkness.
Talk about working on the dark side. Holy cow! please take care of yourself, that's a tough one. You and YOUR family come first.
My husband and i went to a retreat modeled after Angel Fire, called Veterans freedom retreat. The whole retreat is such a healing process. And as a wife (15 years of which he was active duty, multiple combat deployments), the purple heart ceremony was so healing to MY soul
Thank you for doing this episode. Bringing this problem to light is so important.
Real war starts when they are coming home 😢 so sad…. Hope they all find themselves again ❤️
To see peter smile brightens the mood of this episode
Dieter was in Vietnam War 🇻🇳 until he passed away from a Brain Anurism 🧠 😢 prayers and sweethearts we love you,please stay with us,thank you for being there for our Veterans really be in the corner for our Veterans ,if we can help please teach us how
What about 2 million innocent Vietnamees who lost their life because of your agression?
As a Navy Vet some of this makes sense but I have an Army friend (Vet) and I get his feelings a bit more. WOW...
Well done folks. All too true !!!
Very proud of Peter 🥹
bawling, i hope peter recovers
💔 ❤ 🙏🏼 ☮ Thank you Lisa ❤
WOW
My heart goes out to the single veterans.
What help is there for them?
Many people that I know have PTSD the ppl I talk to most times say at war they had to do horrible things that in a way hunts them and always feel paranoid I think in war nobody wins most army people end up mentally ill.
Not most. Lets give more credit. Yes, it is work, but they deserve better than categorizing individuals. Please
The feelings are very similar to the ones of children who experienced repeated childhood sexual and physical abuse.
This "conflict" in Vietnam, still has its war casualties and the men still living with the pains of the past and never recovered...For things done...And undone...Peace
As a father of a soldier with PTSD. I've seen first hand many times his suffering. Numerous trips to the VA. All the is done is trying to force drugs on them. There is no one who ever wants to talk. Therapists would rather just hang out drugs.
So true! I had to find the retract my husband and I attended because I was DESPERATE
While some may still see it as drugs I strongly recommend 5 meo dmt otherwise known as the toad ceremony.
It is a short lived, deeply profound and spiritual experience, with amazing results for PTSD sufferers.
There is plenty of information online that I urge you to read up on.
I truly hope in my heart, your son can find peace in this way or another.

Omgosh ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻😭❤️❤️

Navy Corpsman work for the Marines, I spent my whole time with the Marine Cirps, we get to use the all Marine Corps uniforms except their dress blues.
Much respect Devil Doc

Why would you sign up for this?
🥺🫶🏾💜
I know what is like, I grew up in the hood.
I believe there's a massive amount of PTSD in the hood. Programs like this would be very beneficial
How about not going to war ?????
Seems like they have a dark spirit on them when they come back. If you believe in those things then try a different approach.
A sentence and a half is not much help
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY but i hate the intro for this serious something about it bugs me i do admit to having a troubled life as a kid
I understand. To me the intro appears to almost excuse the bad because there is good. I’m sure that’s not the intention but it feels that way
That man that man if I was that woman I would not trust Peter around the kids or me very ostacious times
Afghanistan defeated USA.
God bless Afghanistan.
Tell them to try mashrooms that may help
USA lost to Afghanistan.
Woman on here give me a break support ur troops
🥺😢😭🥲
